They are GREAT, I would recomend them to anyone that rides in a lot of mud. It helps out a lot more than some think, well worth the money in my book.
I second that. When the bike is in 2 wheel drive, you don't even know that it is there. When you get in the mud and put it in 4 wheel drive it just pulls. It really works when you need it the most. When you are in a bind and one of the front wheels is off the ground, the bike never hesitates, just keeps pullin. I love it. Next to the tires, I think it is the best mod you can do to your bike.
I AGREE!!! IN 2WD YOU DONT FEEL ANYTHING.IN 4WD THE FOREMAN IS DAM NEAR UNSTOPPABLE.I CHICKEN OUT ON NASTY HILL CLIMBS LONG BEFORE THE BIKE LOSES TRACTION.IT IS GREAT FOR MUD AND SNOW, BUY ONE YOU WONT REGRET IT.
Yall with the DGL

Did you have HL install them for you? Or did you do them yourself

I see you have to machine down the ring gear.. Theres not a machine shop anywhere around here that I know of.
For the most part, did it myself. Had a buddy with access to a lathe that machined the ring gear down for me. If you are havin trouble finda machine shop in your area, I would suggest lookin into a engine builder or an axle shop. Both should access to a lathe. You might look to see if there is a vocational metal trades school in your area also. I took a class when I was in high school, and they had good equipment to work with.
I am getting some (hopefully) warranty work done on mine at the moment, and the DGL installed at the same time. Got it from the Honda dealer who is a highlifter dealer, for $5 less than highlifter sells it and no shipping charges, but they are about $30 higher than highlifter on the install. Guess it will average out on the price. But after the last time I got stuck because I didnt have 4wd I coughed up the money!
I did everything but the machining of the ring gear, I think that cost me like $40. Not too hard of an install.
in stalled mine. 2days later both front axels gernaded makin a call to gorilla tomarrow lovedit will it lasted
